Its real when you check your teeth
Joe Rogan
He’s a descendant of the Black Knight. That mother could take a beating.
I don't watch ice hockey but my respect goes out to men like these. Footballers and basketball hoopers should learn from these men.
That's how you take one for the team.
I didn't know Chuck Norris played hockey!!
Man Ovi looks scary like Andrei Arlovski. 😕
What a beast. Haha. That puck might as well have been a paper wad in class.
Crosby would be dead
Ovechkin's face has pierre mcguire's back. Hope the pucks ok!
What if many years later, the truth comes out and it turns out that Ovi was just a cyborg?
I feel like that puck probably got bent into the shape of ovis cheekbone. He was more angry about losing in the finals than concerned about getting hit with a a measly puck.
The Russian Machine doesn’t break
Remember when idiots like Don Cherry were always ragging on Russian and European players for lack of toughness and saying you couldn't win a Cup with them?
Goalies should be suspended for making glove saves on the bench
Joe Rogan’s podcast brought me here 😁
Crosby was out 6 weeks after seeing this
I'm just here for Pierre McGuire.
Russians are just hard man xd
In mother Russia we wrestle bear.
Cause he is a monster …
Ovechkin and his pucks have a slap-happy relationship
Unbelievable. What a beast.
After that brutal hit the puck got a game misconduct.
How did the puck hit Alex Ovechkin smasssssssh
puck: YEEET
Ovis face: stahp!
puck: Ok, have a nice day
OOOO those Russians
Ovi baby!
That moment might have motivated the Caps to win the series and the Cup even though Game 1 went to the Knights. 😁
the russian machine never breaks
Russian machine never breaks.
Never will there be another player with the combination of brute physical strength, power and raw one of a kind goal scoring talent
No no ovi hit the puck with his face.
Видно что Саня был сосредоточен на игре, они проигрывали тогда и он думал как это исправить. Поподание шайбы видела вся команда, и что он должен был заплакать? Саня настоящий лидер и капитан, естественно ему было больно но он знает что на него смотрит команда….
I hope the puck is okay.., what a brute
He looks like he wants to be pissed at somebody but knows it's nobody's fault
Lebron would’ve flopped and miss a month.
Too bad it didn't take Pierre out.
puck didnt hit ovechkin… ovechkin hit the puck
Probably needed a new puck after that
Awesome! This year Ovi was so in the zone to win the cup and this reaction is any and all proof you'd need. Every sports All time great that win a championship have this insane level of focus and will to win that comes out in different ways, toughness, relentlessly attacking, peak performances on highest level, all that stuff why we love sports!
I know, Ovy is a machine, but if you watch it in slow motion, the puck hit the visor.
Ovi took that like a champ.
"ouch that hurt, anyways…"
Pierre must feel lucky that Ovi was there to block that shot for him.😄
I know this was uploaded 4 years ago, but Ovi took that puck to the face like a champ, and that's what he is.
Takes it right to the kisser and doesn’t move a muscle. Even in 2023 he’s still an absolute UNIT. The man is a champion for a reason and he’s chasing down Gretzky’s all time record for goals.
